The function \(\operatorname{Si}(x)=\int_{0}^{x} \frac{\sin t}{t} d t\) is called the sine integral function. a. Expand the integrand in a Taylor series about 0 . b. Integrate the series to find a Taylor series for Si. c. Approximate Si(0.5) and Si(1). Use enough terms of the series so the error in the approximation does not exceed \(10^{-3}\).
Exponential function In Section 3, we show that the power series for the exponential function centered at 0 is $$e^{x}=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{k}}{k !}, \quad \text { for }-\infty < x < \infty$$ Use the methods of this section to find the power series for the following functions. Give the interval of convergence for the resulting series. $$f(x)=e^{-3 x}$$
Teams \(A\) and \(B\) go into sudden death overtime after playing to a tie. The teams alternate possession of the ball and the first team to score wins. Each team has a \(\frac{1}{6}\) chance of scoring when it has the ball, with Team \(\mathrm{A}\) having the ball first. a. The probability that Team A ultimately wins is \(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{6}\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{2 k}\) Evaluate this series. b. The expected number of rounds (possessions by either team) required for the overtime to end is \(\frac{1}{6} \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} k\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^{k-1} .\) Evaluate this series.
